My Mickey Thompson drag radials are also street legal radials. "street tires" is a very broad and ambiguous term.

Apples and oranges...and incorrect. Just look at what the SCCA and NHRA consider a race tire and a street tire.
A street tire needs to work in the dry and wet, and have a somewhat decent trend wear rating and a certain percentage of tread pattern. M/T drag radials in the rain, nope...M/T drag radials with a decent tread wear rating, nope....M/T drag radials with good tread coverage, nope...
A Sport Cup 2 has a 180-200 tread wear depending on size. The M/T drag radials last I looked aren't wear certified, meaning 0. Even the more durable Nitto drag radials are only rated at 100. A Sport Cup 2 can be driven in the rain, and has a larger tread surface area as well...it's 100% a street tire.
